I stumbled on this site while looking for a weight watchers type program. I hadn't posted since 2006. I didn't do it then, but hopefuly I will now. I need to lose the weight becasue I have health problems from it, but I always say "oh, I'm not that bad". I feel like I have no self control and no way to keep myself accountable. Maybe if I post regularly this time it will help

Hi mightydog!
I'm sure that you'll find what I did, participation on this site has made a huge difference in my success - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

Glad to have you back with us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. Try the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here since last fall, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome back- you're in the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
